So it's the end of summer, and I am throwing a big barbecue for my friends and family on Saturday. I'm still wondering what to put on the menu, and I'd LOVE some input! So far we're going to cook up some chicken, ribs, burgers & dogs (using Bobby Flay's Grill It! cookbook, of course) and then maybe some grilled veggies, summer salad, fruit, and some sort of fun cocktail...
I found this GREAT recipe from Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill Cookbook for Southwestern Potato Salad. I'll share it here:
Southwestern Potato Salad
- 2 pounds small new potatoes
- 1 cup prepared mayo
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp ancho chile powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 large ripe beefsteak tomato, seeded & chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeno chile, finely diced
- 3 green onions, white & green parts, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- freshly ground black pepper
- Kosher salt
- Put the potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover. Add 1 tbsp salt and bring it to a boil over high heat. Cook the potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a knife (should take 12-15 minutes)
- Drain well, let cool slightly, and slice 1/4 inch thick. Put into a large bowl and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm while you prepare the dressing.
- Stir together the mayo, mustard, lime juice, ancho powder, cayenne, tomato, cilantro, jalepeno, green onions, red onion, and garlic in a medium bowl. Pour the mixture over the potatoes and mix gently until combined. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Serve cold or at room temperature.
